Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club

Course as usual was in great shape. Somewhat penalizing if you miss the fairway, but all in all a good day. Only draw back was some slow play of the groups in front of us. We'll be back!

Great track. Can be tough, but it's very fair. Course was in perfect condition other than a couple bunkers. Tee boxes, fairways, rough, and greens were in perfect condition.

This is an excellent and well run course. Probably the best in the “southern” phoenix area. It’s about a 35 minute drive from chandler, and well worth it. Due to remote location its cheaper than the courses closer to town, like Wildhorse Pass and at least as good.

There are a lot of bunkers, so approach shots must be accurate (mine were not - i must have hit 10 green side bunkers).

Greens had been punch sometime before i played, and had not completely recovered. They were fast enough, but not as fast as the people who play there a lot thought they usually were.

Plus they have iced bottled water every three holes. Drink it. I didnt drink enough and ran out of gas on 18.

Very great day! Our group was a little slow but the course Marshall was very good about encouraging our playing partners to speed it up. Played in 4 hours. Course is playing really well for this time of year. Greens were punched 7 days ago but will likely be perfect in 3 days.

Great course especially if you like sand. Some bunkers have right amount of sand others not so much.

This course can be as difficult or as less difficult as you want. FOr most standard golfers, they go for Blue tees and leave the back tees for the single handicappers or extremely long players. I suggest you swallow your pride, bury your ego, and keep your round fun yet still challenging by playing the shorter tees. There is plenty of challenge to be had from the white tees or shorter and you will find much less frustration.

Mosquitos were terrible,, it really took away from the experience... the bag guys said people were quitting but we toughed it out

Bring your shovel to this beautiful Troon managed course.. Great summer conditions.. Greens in great shape…

Had a noon Tee time and had a single join myself and a buddy. Not busy at all. Paid $38 through golf now. Very hot and humid day. Plenty of water on the course and we seen the cart girl a few times. Course was in good shape. Layout is great. We played at 6500 yard blue tees. Tee boxes fairways and greens all in good shape. Bunkers were a little crusty from the morning light rain. . Off the fairways is desert and brush. Not very attractive. Can’t wait to play it again. One of the better course in Phoenix area.

Course was us impressive condition even though the heat bnb is a challenge. Layout is challenging but fair. Worth the drive to day the least.

The greens had been recently punched. There was no notification of this before booking the round. Drove over an hour to get here and was not pleased about not knowing this ahead of time. Would probably have made a different selection.

The pace was like a death march. It took over 3 hours to play the back 9. At this pace we could not enjoy the round at all. At 115° it felt more like a death march than a golf round. The ranger came around and told us that it was playing slow in front of us. No kidding, genius. We figured that out on our own. How about keeping the pace moving.

Here is a suggestion for the starters. Instead of telling us that there is 160 sand traps, tell the players which tee would best suit their game. If you are a high handicapper use "X" tees, Mid level use "Y" etcetera. If I had to guess why it was so slow I'd say it was that far too many players were playing from the wrong tees and ruining the day for every one behind them.

FYI. They are punching the fairways next week. I doubt there will be any notice of this. You have been forewarned.

From when you drop your bags until lunch after golf, it was a great experience. If I lived in Maricopa, this would be my "home" course. Fairways are cut a little short but that's my only issue. It's summer in Arizona show it it's expected.

Great conditions, greens roll true but unique grass, takes some getting used to. Tees and greens in wonderful shape, seeded rough can add some difficulty, very well placed fw bunkers. What a great challenge and day.

I was paired with a couple of regulars that really helped with tee box guidance. They were friendly as well. Staff was really friendly and helpful. Course was in good shape and was a lot of fun to play. Some sand traps could use more sand and a few were very wet. But that did not distract from my round. Definitely a course on my future play list
